Rebirth 2010: I add some points to be a boss

Chapter 448: 2.4 billion U.S. dollars, you want me to sell it cheaply, it’s impossible!

"The overall length of the Yujia C500 is 73.8 meters, the wingspan is 64 meters, the height is 17.2 meters, and the wing area is 556.8 square meters;"

"The fuselage width is 6.1 meters, the cabin width is 5.6 meters, the length is 58.2 meters, and it can accommodate 420 passengers;"

"The fuel capacity is 8.4 liters, the water storage capacity is 254 cubic meters, and the cargo hold has 44 LD3 cargo containers;"

"The cruising speed is 925 kilometers/hour, the maximum flight speed can reach 982 kilometers/hour, and the full-load range is approximately 8600 kilometers;"

"Equipped with two Dijiang Air-D turbofan engines and four large 20-megawatt electric motors, the engine's maximum thrust is between 380 and 460 kilonewtons;"

"If it is switched to electric drive mode, it can maintain a cruising speed of 720-780 kilometers per hour. Using wireless charging technology, the theoretical range of Yujia C500 is unlimited..."

Liao Hongkai smiled calmly and talked eloquently.

He has worked hard in the private aircraft manufacturing industry for 20 years and witnessed the development of the large civilian aircraft industry with his own eyes.

At first, I wanted to gradually learn advanced technologies such as airframe structure, power plant, avionics system and electromechanical system through imitation and joint venture.

However, whether it is a beautiful country or a European country, the attitude is very consistent. It is okay for Dahua to purchase engines, landing gear and pods at high prices, but if you want to further explore the core technology.

In one sentence, no way!
The depth of vigilance is beyond ordinary people’s imagination!
The Shangfeng aircraft manufacturing base where he worked previously has gone through ten years of hard work. In addition to the fuselage, wings, tail and some standard components, most of the mechanical equipment, instruments and propeller accessories can only rely on cooperation and imports.

To put it simply, the upper limit of the capability is only limited to the outer shell. All internal engines and airborne equipment must be supplied by companies such as Boyin, General Motors, and Futu.

Therefore, in despair, Liao Hongkai accepted Chen Heyu's invitation and resolutely joined Shanhai Aircraft Manufacturing Factory as the project leader.

"Six large 20-megawatt electric motors?"

"How is it possible to reach a flight speed of 720 kilometers using electric drive mode?"

"The take-off weight of a civilian passenger aircraft is close to 300 tons. Could it be that Shanhai Group has made breakthrough research results in materials, batteries, and motors?"

Complex expressions of surprise, doubt, and excitement appeared on the faces of the audience in the audience. Then they looked at Liao Hongkai with burning eyes, expecting him to give a detailed explanation.

It should be noted that electric aircraft need to face various limitations and technical challenges, such as battery energy density, charging time, electromagnetic interference and power supply stability.

At present, Europe does have some electric-driven aircraft products, but most of them are still in the research and development and experimental stages and have not entered the commercial application stage.

such as:

AeroMobil, an Eastern European iron-riding country, is developing an electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft with a payload of less than 0.5 tons and a flight distance of only a few dozen kilometers.

Zunum Aero, a company based in China, plans to launch a 19-seater small electric aircraft that can fly at a speed of 550 kilometers per hour. It is expected to be mass-produced in four years.

It can be seen that no matter how you say it, it is incredible for a large commercial aircraft weighing more than 300 tons to use electric power resources to maintain continuous flight.

As powerful as the beautiful country, it is only testing and exploring in the field of small passenger aircraft.

Bo Yin, Airbus representatives, and aerospace engineers from all over the world all frowned and began to think about the feasibility of the power solution.

First of all, high-power batteries and electric motors are essential: batteries and electric motors are key components of electric drive, and sufficient power and energy density are required to achieve high-speed flight.

In the current international market, common electric vehicle batteries, motor performance, weight and volume cannot meet the needs of this application scenario. Since Shanhai Aircraft Manufacturing Factory dares to boast about Haikou, it must have been prepared early.

Secondly, lightweight design: using lightweight alloys and attached materials to reduce the weight of the aircraft and improve flight efficiency and speed.

Thirdly, high-speed communication and control devices: Electric drive systems require a large number of sensors and avionics systems to ensure safe and effective operation.

At the same time, these systems must ensure stability even under high-speed operation and intermittent power outages.

The satellite power grid built by Yukun Space Company can perfectly solve this problem.

Finally, electromagnetic interference and lightning strike protection: The electric drive system is very sensitive to electromagnetic interference and lightning strikes. Full consideration and protection are required in the design of the aircraft body and flight control system.

Problems like this have always troubled Daniel, an engineer in the Oubei area, but now they have been solved by a private aircraft manufacturer in Greater China. It is really embarrassing.

As for doubt?
No need!

After being installed at the beginning of the year, the Raytheon H-20 fighter jet, Hornet T-1 reconnaissance aircraft and Qinglong D-100 supersonic fighter jet have demonstrated endurance capabilities that have exceeded the limits of conventional fighter jets.

Obviously, the new fighter jet produced by the North China Military Research Institute is definitely equipped with a large electric motor and uses wireless charging technology provided by the satellite power grid.

It is natural that Yujia C500 follows this trend of operation!
Liao Hongkai paused and switched the picture on the big screen. A medium-sized wide-body passenger aircraft with a strong sense of technology came into view, with a streamlined appearance design and excellent aerodynamic performance.

“The head of Yujia C500 uses 3D printing and laser welding. These technologies can greatly improve production efficiency and quality, reduce waste and energy consumption, and is equipped with an electronic radar system, which consists of a main antenna, a backup antenna, and two radars. Controller composition.”

"We named it Thunderbird internally. The main antenna consists of a total of 128 unit antennas, and the backup antenna has 96 unit antennas. Each unit antenna can be regarded as a sensor.

The unit antenna is connected to the radar controller by optical fiber, which enables high-precision detection of the surrounding environment. "

The thunderbird is a mythical beast in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. It has powerful thunder and lightning capabilities and keen observation, symbolizing foresight and vigilance.

Chen Heyu named it after this, which just highlights the detection and monitoring functions of the radar system.

Liao Hongkai on the podium pressed the controller and the screen changed again.

When the perspective comes to the nose of the aircraft, the eye-catching "Shanhai Group" logo is printed on the outer shell, showing a piercing cone shape.

“In terms of materials, we abandoned the traditional single aluminum alloy structure and chose a lightweight structural design that combines carbon fiber, resin and titanium-aluminum alloy. It has the characteristics of high strength, high stiffness and low density, which can greatly reduce the weight of the aircraft itself and improve the quality of the aircraft. Fuel efficiency and range.”

"Compared with products of the same type, the weight of the Yujia C500 is reduced by 20%, and the fuel efficiency is increased by more than 25%."

Liao Hongkai looked at the direction of the Boyin delegation, and a narrow smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He felt relieved. In the past, he would have never dared to offend the industry giants in the audience. Once these people resorted to some tricks, Shang Feng's core parts supply would be at risk.

Today, he is not afraid at all!
The engine, electric motor, pod, and cockpit are developed and produced by Shanhai Aircraft Manufacturing Factory!

The electromechanical system and avionics system are provided by the North China Aviation Military Research Institute and Future Technology!

The fuselage, wings, tail, landing gear and interiors are produced by more than a dozen companies including Shangfeng, Yuanhong Aviation Forging Company, Sichuan Le Aida Electronics, and Jiangnan Tianniao Group.

Even the avionics display in the cockpit uses an aviation touch display from the Jingdongfang factory in Lucheng. It can work normally in the temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and can immediately display faults when encountering abnormal conditions. information.

To sum up, the Yujia C500 is 100% domestically produced. It does not require engines and key components from the Western world. Shanhai Aircraft Manufacturing Factory can still mass-produce commercial passenger aircraft on a large scale.Full of confidence!

Of course, the prerequisite is to have sufficient order volume, form economies of scale, and reduce the cost of a single machine, so that it can be competitive in the international market in the future.

Otherwise, [-]% of the large aircraft produced by simply stacking components without considering costs will fail, and then become uninterested.

一台空客A350的报价是3.2亿美刀，一架啵音747的售价是2.5-3亿美刀。

Judging from the performance data shown, if the price of Yujia C500 is higher than US$3 million, it will be completely reduced to a foil in the aviation market; if it is lower than US$2 million, perhaps some airlines will be willing to purchase it.

After all, Boin and Airbus occupy 90% of the global market share. They have accumulated a good business reputation and established product stability and reliability over decades.

As a newcomer in the industry, Shanhai Aircraft Manufacturing Factory must first obtain recognition from the aviation service industry!
Let me ask, who dares to fly on a large civilian aircraft that has just been put into operation?
In the last life, Shangfeng Group launched the C919. Even with the increasing number of air crashes involving Boeing and Airbus, airlines at home and abroad still would not put the C919 in their first choice for procurement.

Likewise, passengers have the same mentality.

This is all because the flight mileage of domestic large aircraft is small, the data is not comprehensive enough, and user trust is not enough.

Chen Heyu was sitting in the front row. When he heard this, he did not forget to turn sideways and look not far away. There was no panic on the faces of the representatives of the two major private aircraft manufacturers.

Obviously, they are waiting for Liao Hongkai's quotation. Commercial airliners with no commercial value pose no threat to them.

"I am destined to disappoint you."

Chen Heyu sneered secretly, looking calm and calm.

Shanhai Group has sufficient cash flow. As early as the first quarter of last year, it simultaneously established a Shanhai Airlines.

No one is purchasing?

Digest it yourself!

The annual demand for civil passenger aircraft in Greater China is about 350-450. Mr. Meng had said hello in advance. The CEOs, procurement managers or business delegations of China Airlines, Eastern Airlines and China Southern Airlines were all carrying procurement tasks. Sit quietly in the audience.

“The wings of the Yujia C500 adopt a leading edge variable angle and main wing slat design to ensure a balance between takeoff performance and cruise efficiency. The tail part is composed of two tilted tail wings to stabilize the aircraft. direction control.

It has a very spacious cabin and a height-adjustable air purification system to provide passengers with a more comfortable travel experience.

The large-capacity cargo hold system can also store various types of goods, including bagged goods, boxed goods, fragile goods, dangerous goods, etc..."

Liao Hongkai added with a smile.

He then went on to introduce the testing and verification process of 'Yujia C500' in order to dispel the concerns of buyers.

"First, balance and control test: stability and maneuverability at different speeds, heights and loads!"

"Second, aerodynamic performance testing: flight performance and fuel efficiency under various airflow and risk conditions!"

"Third, maneuverability test: speed, climb and descent speed, turning radius, maximum climb angle, etc.!"

“Fourth, flight test: performance and safety under actual flight conditions, including takeoff, landing, stall, etc.!”

"Fifth, explosion and impact testing: ensure the strength and durability of the body structure and parts!"

"Sixth, functional test and system test: whether the engine, instrument panel, equipment, and power system are operating normally and coordinating with each other!"

"..."

Liao Hongkai said calmly that although his words were well-founded and supported by video and document information, it was still difficult to eliminate the prejudices of buyers.

During the process, Sun Hongjun from the Civil Aviation Department came on stage and issued an airworthiness certificate to Shanhai Aircraft Manufacturing Factory. This was a key step for the successful commercial operation of the 'Yujia C500'.

Liao Hongkai held the audience alone for just one hour without stopping for a moment. He was so thirsty that he vividly described the R&D and manufacturing process of 'Yujia C500'.

More than 4000 engineers in the entire plant, 147 forging companies across the country, aircraft manufacturing bases, and raw material suppliers worked hard day and night for more than 500 days to successfully complete the final assembly and test flight of the 'Yujia C500'.

"Mr. Liao, I would like to know the overseas market price of a Yujia C500."

Rashid, the president of Dubai Airlines, got straight to the point.

Relying on its rich oil resources, Dubai has become a trade transit point for Europe, Asia and Asia, so the demand for the procurement of large civilian aircraft is extremely urgent.

Boin, Airbus, and Rashid had contacted each other before, but the offer was too high and he was still hesitant.

Shanhai Aircraft Manufacturing Factory is a disruptor, giving Rashid a new choice.

Liao Hongkai smiled, looked at the 'big dogs' in the audience, and said softly: "The selling price in Greater China is 12.8 billion Chinese dollars, and the pricing standard in overseas markets is US$2.4 million."

2.4 million dollars!

The audience suddenly burst into exclamations, feeling that the price was too high.
Shanhai Aircraft Manufacturing Factory is just a newcomer. How dare it sell the price of a BoYin airliner?

Airbus President Huslett couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of disdain flashing in his eyes.

What grade?
Dare to be the same price as Airbus 350!
Evans, the Yazhou region president of BoYin Airlines, pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, and his worries disappeared instantly.

If Shanhai Aircraft Manufacturing Factory sells for only US$2 million, or even US$1.5 million, it will definitely pose a threat to Boin and Airbus.

But at a price of US$2.4 million, who would choose a newbie?
'Big Dog' Rushd shook his head slightly and immediately kicked 'Yujia C500' out of the candidate list!

Chen Heyu caught a glimpse of everyone's expressions. It seemed that he had expected it and his mentality was very stable. He glanced at Liao Hongkai and signaled him to enter the next step.

Media Q&A!

In Chen Heyu's view, it will be difficult for the 'Yujia C500' to gain the trust of airlines in a short period of time anyway. It is better to focus on the Greater China market, Huizhou Continent and Tianzhu region.

With Belut and Kaka Group leading the way, it won't be a problem to sell a dozen of them.

As for word of mouth, take your time!
It is simply impossible to let Chen Heyu sell at a low price!
What's more, the Greater China market alone is enough to support Shanhai Aircraft Manufacturing Factory!

Next, the production and manufacturing of large passenger aircraft and small passenger aircraft will also gradually come off the production line.
